it was the first time i'm many years
that he had left his wife for so
long Il time, aud he didn't "stay Off"
this time, but Il small fraction OF a
week. oh; the magnetism of Il Ia
dy's charms.
We have noted with regret the
absence of our "Educational De-
partmcnt" in the two last papers.
We were enjoying the contribu-
tons very much indeed and hope
they will be continued. We think,
however, that the other teachers
arc very selfish i'm leaving all of the
work for Prof. Evans to Ito, just be-
cause he has been so kind as to
take charge OF that department..
While in conversation with Prof.
PARROT some time since he inform
ed me that they expected to have
Il regular teachers department in
the "Clinton Enterprise" | Was
exceedingly glad to Sc such az en-
tcrprising spirit as that sho IN, but
I am not willing that LaurcnS
should let ono of her younger sis
tcr-townS Surpass her in the into
rest shown in educational matters.
We hope in the next paper to see
contributions from various sources

We cannot refrain, however,
from making II brief mention of the

close Of the exercises. One of the

In saying this we think we may
safely say we are expressing tho
sentiments Of the entire audience
